Synopsis

There is an underserved movement budding among young conservatives, in which fiscal responsibility and controlled government spending remain crucial tenets, but issues like gay marriage and drug control are approached with a libertarian bent.The ideas of this growing wave need a public, nuanced voice. The implications for the Republican party if this philosophy is more widely adopted may not only spur major change within the party, but could also revitalize its chances of claiming more power in our government.Author Charles Cooke has coined the term "conservatarian" for this group, and The Conservatarian Manifesto is his explanation of what defines this new breed of Republican, what they believe on every hot-button issue of our day, and how they can effect change within the GOP. This audiobook is a blueprint of action and ideology for the growing population of socially liberal, fiscally conservative young members of the political Right.

Goodreads review by Bryan on December 29, 2014

I would have to say one of the best political books in a long time. Charles Cooke, writer for National Review, clearly and openly debates the struggle of the Conservative and Libertarian wings within the Republican Party. This dense but quick read covers the history of the current Conservative Debat......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on February 21, 2021

I'll continue to refer to this as it is concise and smart and avoids pretense. It is showing its age a bit since it was published in 2015 and so much of it is oriented to the Obama era. This author is a favorite pundit of mine and it'd be great if he carried on and wrote another book, perhaps a deep......more

Goodreads review by DMurt on August 24, 2020

Damn I been wanting to read this book. I would give the rating a 4.5 actually. Charles is a non religious conservative/libertarian (like myself) that plainly wrote out the problems of the left and ALOT of the right of politics. It gets a 4.5 because of poll results he posts. Poll results are nice, b......more
